Today is Day 1 of my online retreat. Our retreat master led us to make a reflection on this question: "How can I love more?"
Jesus is our model of unconditional love. He lay down His life for us, for our redemption. He agreed to do His Father's will even if He knew what it would feel like to suffer on the cross and to be mocked by so many people. He never had a second thought of doing such a sacrifice because of His love for us.
How noble and lofty Jesus' sacrifice was! Can we follow His footsteps? Can we sacrifice our personal convenience so that our loved ones may find comfort? Can we offer our time, talent, and treasure to help our loved ones in need? How far can we go to show that we are capable of loving others more?
This Lenten season, may God direct our paths so that we can choose to love more, forgive more, and care more so that others can live more comfortably and more peacefully.
